UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICEQ EDMUND S. HUNT, OF WEYMOUTH, MASSACHUSETTS.

Fl RE-WORKS.

SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 229,890, dated July 13, 1880.

Application filed May 27, 1880.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, EDMUND S. HUNT, of Weymouth, in the county of Norfolk and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Fire-Works, of which the followingis a full, clear, concise, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, making a part hereof.

My invention relates to that class of fireworks commonly called sun wheels, the smaller sorts of which are also known as pinwheels, and it consists in securing a short piece of lance-workin a radial slot in the disk which supports the coiled case which contains the drir'ing-charge.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a plan. Fig. 2'is a section on line 00 w of Fig. 1.

A is a disk of pasteboard or the like, with a hole through it at its center for the pin on which the wheel revolves.

B is the lancewvork, consisting of a short case filled with a composition, I), to produce a colored flame.

(No model.)

C is the driving-case, filled with a composition, 0, to produce colored flame, and also to cause the wheel to revolve on its pin.

The outer end of the case B is open, and a hole, 0, is pressed through case 0, so that when case G is secured to the periphery of disk A this hole 0 will be over the mouth of case B, the purpose being to insure the ignition of the filling b in case B when the filling c of case O has burned as far as the hole 0.

What I claim as my invention is In combination, disk A, with the radial slot,

the case B, with its filling b, secured in that slot and open at the outer end, and the coiled case 0, with its filling c, and having the hole 0 through it at the mouth of the case B, substantially as described.

EDMUND s. HUNT.
